50/100 party hand

[NYplayer]

you get 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in the big blind.

There is a raise and 3 callers and you call getting 9.5:1

the flop is 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

PFRaiser bets, First caller raises, second caller folds, 3rd caller Reraises.

What's your play?

seems like the only question to be answered is if there's a higher flush draw out there

[Turning Stone Pro]

I would bet the flop here. I like your hand.

you called with 5 high and got almost the perfect flop with lots of people in there with a straight flush draw. Call and don't go too crazy if you hit your 5 high flush. Only way you fold is if it's 3 bets to you on the turn and the board is paired.

I think you can muck here.

I think I'm calling here. Pre flop raiser is in auto lead mode since he was the PFR. First raiser likely has a Jack or a pocket pair and is trying to protect his hand. The 3rd caller reraiser could have anything from AJ to a set or diamonds.

Without the gutshot draw I think it's close, add in the gutshot draw and I'm definatly calling here.

This is similar to Easy Goer's post. I'm surprised if it's different from mid limits where it's almost a given that the flop, whatever it is here, will be played fast and attacked.

If you're playing it, why start out sitting back hoping for the perfect scenario of facing the field with 2 bets after c/r'ing the LP's bet? It's too easy to get moved off your hand that way. Bet out and get it rolling.

I like the hand too, but do you really want to bet out here. Looking at a likely raise from the preflop raiser, do you want to end up head up? When this happens you still likely end up with the same outs you had before. Its not like he can clear out a hand you want out either. Anyone with a better flush draw is calling two cold anyway.

I certainly don't mind tryin to get in some bets here on the flop but I think you're better off doing it by check raising the field when you get a bet and a caller or two.

what about a fold? out of the question?
